You spend a lot of nights in shared spaces on the Camino. And you will undoubtedly "study under" master snorers, deal with shrieking zippers, inevitable phone alarms, and the ever-mocking rustle of unseen ziplock bags. Trust me, there's no escaping this new reality. However, there is a way to fight back...ear plugs. Duh, right? But not just any old ear plugs. Trust me when I say not all "plugs" are created equal. That said, my moldable silicone plugs give you a quiet pocket of rest when you need it most.
Why A Colored Option?
White plugs can disappear in the dark. They blend into the mattress and sheets. I would wake at dawn, quietly patting around my bunk, trying not to turn on a light out of respect for others. More time than I care to admit was spent searching for a runaway plug. That experience is why I added color options. Bright colors stand out. You find them fast. No fumbling. No frustration. However, if you are not an early riser, you'll be fine with the classic white putty!
Why Silicone EarPlugs?
Different pilgrims prefer different plug types. For me, I have tested them all. Foam plugs never stayed put for me. Moldable silicone creates a snug seal that stays comfortable all night. Once I switched, I never went back. These plugs also double as emergency sink drain stoppers on laundry day. Keep a separate pair for that job! ;)
